About: I’ve had dogs as pets my entire life! I love playing and caring for dogs (big or small) and I enjoy getting them their daily exercise. If me taking your pups off your hands will be helpful, I’d love to do that for you. I’m currently attending college at California State University Northridge, but I am available for drop in visits everyday from 8:00am-9:00am or anytime after 4:00pm. In my own home, it is extremely important that I am attentive to my dog and give him plenty of exercise. Being an older dog, it’s important that I give him exercise but also am aware of his limits. I hope to treat your furry friend in a similar fashion. Whether it is just me dropping in to feed them, us going on a walk together, or hanging around to throw some of their favorite toys to keep them active and happy while you’re away. :)

About: After working at several high quality pet supply companies, I know a great deal about pet nutrition and pet care. I have owned dogs and cats my entire life. I have experience with large dogs, we always had/have German Shepherds, and small dogs, as well as cats. I can take care of seniors, adults, and puppy’s; I have experiencing administering pills, and putting additives into the pets food. I can bring my lifelong pet ownership experience into caring for your lovely pet. I love learning new things about different breeds and different personalities. No pet, like no person, is the same nor should they be treated the same. I am excited to get to know your pet and their unique way of living life! I’ve just moved back to LA from spending 6 years in the United Kingdom, so your pet will be my full focus as I’m not otherwise employed currently. I take care of your pet(s) as if they are my own. I take any special requests seriously and have clients who have used me for years and trust me in their homes. I understand how serious that is, and take respect to the highest level, paring that with safety.
About: Hi! My name is Amanda and from as early as I can remember I have a passion for all animals. I genuinely treat every pet as if they were a part of my family and truly love to see them happy and well cared for. I have relocated to the west coast and am currently enrolled in school part time. I absolutely love working with animals so becoming a part of the Rover team fits perfectly into my schedule. Loving treatment and safety are the two most important factors in caring for any animal. It is of the utmost importance to make sure perimeters are secure and dangers are assed prior to allowing an animal to enter a space. Loving interaction as well as positive stimulation are requirements for me before I care for a pet.
About: Ive had furry best friends since the day I was born, I know how special they are! Making other people and pets happy makes me happy. I currently have open availability, I’m in college and I use Rover to make money doing what I love! I’m very flexible when it comes to getting up early or staying up late for pet care. I have 3 dogs, one super needy frenchie and two crazy golden retrievers. I also have a black kitty. I’ve seen it all and done it all from house sitting for weeks to a simple walk around the neighborhood.
About: I have been caring for my own pets and those of friends and family for over 12 years . I enjoy all breeds and will tend to special requests (medication/diet) and/or special needs (blind and/or deaf) . I am a current CSUN student on summer break so I have availability to take furry friends on walks and hikes mornings and evenings due to heat. I am open to drop offs and sleepovers anytime with prior notice . I currently live in a gated townhouse with a secure good size patio . Dogs will have access to sun bath on the patio but will be walked for potty purposes.

I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. My goal is always to make every pup feel safe, comfortable, loved, and right at home while you’re away! 🐾✨ I’m a travel nurse, so when I’m home, I’m truly home and have plenty of time to dedicate to your pets! 🐾 I also volunteer in animal shelters and love spending my free time caring for animals.

There is a fenced playground area for safe outdoor exercise, and access to a pool for dogs who enjoy swimming. I can also provide a peaceful, relaxed environment for pets who prefer to take it easy. My home is smoke-free and kid-free, creating a calm environment where pets can receive lots of individual attention. I may also have foster kittens or puppies through my animal-shelter involvement, and I’m happy to discuss this with you beforehand to make sure everyone is comfortable and safe.

About: I’ve been a pet owner and trusted caregiver for many years, helping friends and family care for their pets as if they were my own.

About: Dogs have always been a big part of my life. I have experience caring for my own dog as well as dog sitting for friends and family, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them. I’m a caring, patient, and reliable person, and when your dog is with me, I treat them like they’re my own. I love going on walks, playing, giving lots of attention, and making sure they feel happy and comfortable. I know every dog is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, routine, and what makes them feel most comfortable.

I’m available in the mornings and afternoons and can easily work pet care into my daily routine. I’m happy to help with walks, feeding, fresh water, playtime, and giving your pet plenty of love and attention. I’m reliable and flexible with scheduling, and I’ll make sure your pet feels comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away. I prioritize safety by keeping dogs on a secure leash, avoiding unsafe areas, watching for other dogs, cars, and distractions, and making sure they are comfortable throughout the walk. I follow the owner’s instructions and routines closely and always make sure the home is secure when I leave.
About: Hi there! I’d love to welcome your furry family member into my home. ❤️ I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from small Bichon Frisés to German Shepherds, as well as high-energy pups, senior dogs, anxious pets, and cats. I’m comfortable adjusting to each pet’s own routine and personality, whether they need lots of playtime, a little extra patience, or just someone nearby to make them feel safe. I work from home full-time, so pets staying with me get lots of company and attention throughout the day. With a fully fenced backyard, dogs can also go outside often for potty breaks, playtime, or just some fresh air. I really love seeing them settle in, get comfortable, and start treating my home like their own. ❤️ I work from home full-time, so I’m around throughout the day and can easily accommodate feeding, potty breaks, walks, and playtime. I’m also flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my priority. My home is clean, spacious, and pet-friendly, with plenty of room to relax and play both indoors and outdoors. No small children or other pets live here full-time. Dogs and cats are welcome on the furniture, and I always supervise them closely, especially outdoors. There’s no crate time here—they’re free to relax, play, and feel right at home. ❤️ I’ll also follow any specific care instructions or house rules you have for your pet.

Pet parents share their Rover experiences - Northridge
Sanaz was totally reliable. She sent photos for each visit, cleaned my cats’ many litter boxes, and kept things clean (which I don’t even do). When I came back, the water bowls were clean and full and the automatic feeders were filled. Plus my cats liked her! I think one actually has a crush on her.
Madelyn is very friendly, easy going and attentive. We arranged a meet and greet to confirm she felt comfortable with a large dog. Charlie loved her and appreciated her presence! She provided frequent updates during her check in visits. I would definitely recommend her!

We have rebooked Jill to pet sit for us so many times and I can honestly say every single time has been amazing which is why we will continue to re book her because the care and love she shows our babies tells us she loves what she does. Honestly there are not enough great words to put on here but Jill is fantastic !

Daniela has been coming by on weekdays to let our dogs out while we're at work, and we could not be happier. She gives them real playtime instead of just a quick potty break, always tops off their water, and leaves the house exactly as she found it. Her communication is excellent. We always know when she's arrived and how the visit went, which takes a lot of worry off our minds during the workday. Our dogs clearly adore her. If you need someone reliable and genuinely good with animals, we recommend her without hesitation.

Haley once again took amazing care of our girls! My husband and I feel incredibly fortunate that we found such a kind and caring sitter in Haley. The girls love her and even our older cat (who can be pretty aloof/distant with others outside of our family) has enjoyed playing with her. Do not hesitate in hiring Haley--she's a gem!

Kylie did a wonderful job in caring for our dogs while I was unable to during surgery. She provided top quality care to our senior dogs and most especially to my daughter’s dog, Koda. During the time we were away, Koda was struggling with eating and standing on his own. Every morning, Kylie would help him to relieve himself and would also spoon feed him so he could eat. With her kindness, Koda was able to be strong enough to wait for my daughter to come home. Kylie was truly exceptional and is an amazing caretaker for animals.

Annabella was amazing caring for our little senior dog in our home while we were away. Our dog needs medication and prescription food from the freezer so not the most easy client but Annabella managed it all perfectly. She even took our cans to the curb and kept or kitchen orchid perfectly watered!
Emily is fantastic! She completed her drop ins at the time scheduled and sent lots of pictures. You could tell my cats were super happy with having her there. Even my super scaredy-cat warmed up to her while I was away my schedule is just all over the place and she was so accommodating to last-minute changes as well which I really appreciate.

The average cost of Pet Sitting in Northridge is $28 per visit as of October 2026. Most bookings cost between $16 and $42 per visit. On Rover, sitters set their own rates based on factors such as their experience, the length of care, the number of pets, and your pet’s specific needs. As long as your booking dates and pet profiles are accurate, the price shown before you confirm is the total, including any booking fee.
As of October 2026, there are 16,247 sitters on Rover offering Pet Sitting across Northridge. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
You and your sitter can agree on a care schedule that fits your pet’s routine and the sitter’s availability. Pet Sitting can be booked as a one-time or recurring drop-in visit. If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
If you would like updates while you’re away, you can discuss with your sitter how many or how frequent you’d like those updates to be. The Rover app allows sitters to send photos, videos, and messages about your pet, including how many pee or poop breaks occurred. You can message your sitter at any time through the app and our support team is available 24/7 by email or chat if you have concerns.
The personalized, in-home nature of pet care through Rover can mean more individual attention for your pet.
Many pet parents provide a spare key or arrange a lockbox. You can also exchange keys during the Meet & Greet and show your walker how to use digital fobs or personalized codes. It helps to arrange access to your home, from spare keys to concierge introductions, before pet care begins.
If you live in an apartment or condo, don’t forget to discuss details like buzzer access, codes, or elevator etiquette. These details can help a pet sitter feel more comfortable going in and out of your building.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit .
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.

- 86% of sitters can help with special care needs

- 95% can help with daily exercise

Use the search filters to narrow down sitters whose specific experience or environment meets your pet's needs. When reaching out to your sitter, outline your pet's care routine and use the Meet & Greet to walk your sitter through your expectations.
A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first .
sitters on Rover set their own , which you can find on their profile under their contact information. Sitters may set a same-day, one-, three-, or seven-day cancellation policy. Cancelling within your sitter’s cancellation policy qualifies you for a full refund.
Same-day cancellations for recurring services, which include walks, drop-ins, and day care, follow the full refund policy. Otherwise, for pet boarding and house sitting, if you cancel after 12 pm on the applicable cancellation deadline, you’ll receive a 50% refund for the first seven days of the booking and a 100% refund for any remaining days.
If your sitter needs to cancel within seven days of the booking's start date, then our reservation protection will kick in. This means you will get a full refund and our support team will work with you to find a replacement sitter.
